Made an adjustment mod for the bridge. Used 1” tubular webbing with 7/16” rope cut at about 1/2” zip tied to the bridge loops. Enables the bridge to be adjusted at three different positions.

I was the same way....I had never known about this tool till I saw one on the shelf. I bought it years ago and did a lot of various repairs. Then I discovered this forum and saw what all these other guys were making and busted it back out.....
Someone needs to start the official save the Mantis thread....
Haha not a bad idea, SO many people had that as their first saddle. Myself included
Probably not. I had a difficult time getting comfortable. I used the original lower stitching and it was too low. Using it as is was too high. So I made the adjustments so I could use the as is as the top adjustment, the lower adjustment is about 1/4” above the lower stitching and the middle adjustment is in between. I have not hunted out of it yet, however the middle adjustment seems perfect trying it out in the yard.
